Q: What are you working on at the moment?

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: My career path strictly has to do with music relating to mixing, producing, tracking, and playing guitar.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: My style is very raw and organic. I like to work hard on a project, take a day break to listen back, and then go back and make edits.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: Any big indie or hip hop artist. I really have a lot of influences and think that I can bring a lot to the table with any of the artists I work with.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Your ears are the most valuable asset you have. Take care of them, use them, and trust your instincts. Your initial instincts are usually best and most raw ideas. You can refine your ideas later but there is nothing better than raw inspiration in the moment.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: Hip-hop, pop, R&B, indie, soul, country, rock, americana, jazz, and everything in between. I work on all different types of projects and genres and am willing to put my best work into any genre or song.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring my expressive emotion. I put everything I have into a song. Your song is extremely important to me especially if I am working on it. I put 110% into everything I work on and will not quit until the client is satisfied. I put my passion and heart into everything I work on and strive to be the best I can be so that I can make your song sound the best that it can be.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I usually receive the files and some type of payment from the client that gives me incentive to deliver the work. I then finish the project, accept edits from the client, make the edits, and receive my compensation. The process is very easy. I like to have references, notes, or any other advice for how you want something to sound before I get to work. I like to have space to freely work when I am doing a job and am willing to accept edits and advice after I submit something to you.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I work with HS8's, a macbook pro, and an apollo twin. I use the apollo twin relentlessly to get the sound I want. My sound comes from my plug ins and my ears. I have a treated room and am able to mix consistently.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Currently, I am listening to a lot of hip-hop, indie, and some electronic music. I can mix a multitude of different genres and can certainly play a lot of different genres on the guitar. Some of my favorite artists at this point and time (which will certainly change almost weekly) are Chance the Rapper, Bon Iver, Kendrick Lamar, Young the Giant, Hozier, Lido, D'Angelo, Arctic Monkeys, Misterwives, and Amine, and many others.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I mix, produce, record, and play guitar. I am a musician at heart and will always be one. I consider myself very versatile and able to work on many different projects. I have been mixing and producing for 4 years now. I have been playing guitar for almost 8 years and still strive to be the best musician I can be. The client always comes first, I will not stop until you are satisfied. There are certain terms and agreements we must commit to but at the end of the day my number 1 goal is to make sure you are happy.
